Events of GTA Vice City

Recruited by Vercetti

Hilary meeting Tommy.

"You want Hilary, mister. Not some smart-talking law school chump. Hilary's the real deal. You ain't never seen anyone drive so fast."

In 1986, after being recruited by Tommy Vercetti to a bank heist alongside Cam, Phil Cassidy points Tommy in the direction of Hilary King, as Tommy was looking for a getaway driver for a bank heist - however, Phil also states that Hilary won't work for Tommy unless he'll beat him in a race.

Tommy meets up with Hilary, who drives a Sabre Turbo, in a meeting arranged by Phil. The two start their race around Vice Beach, while being chased by the VCPD for illegal racing. Tommy ends up victorious, and gains Hilary's services.

Bank heist & death

"Hey guys! Get in! I got you covered!"

―Hilary arrives to save his allies.

With his team for the heist is complete, Tommy explains to Hilary and the other robbers the plan to rob El Banco Corrupto Grande, bank of Vice City, as well as telling each one their parts within the heist. The four robbers then drive to the bank, with Cam mocking Hilary during the ride for "taking up too much room".

When they arrive near the bank, Hilary is ordered by Tommy to wait for a signal by driving around the block whilst he, Phil and Cam rob the bank. The bank heist turns deadly when the group is attacked by several SWAT teams.

Outside the bank, they keep fighting the SWAT agents. Hilary shows up to save his fellow robbers, attempting to help them by shooting at the SWAT soldiers. However, they return fire, killing Hilary.

Character

Personality

"I'll drive for you, but please, treat me bad."

―Hilary agrees to help Tommy.

Hilary is emotionally unstable, due to many issues with his mother during his childhood. He is neurotic, suffers from some sort of distress, and lacks self-confidence, although he becomes much more confident when it comes to his driving skills, being described by Phil Cassidy as "the real deal".

He also has some history of abandonment issues, which was mainly caused by his mother, despite the VCPD claims he came from a stable family. These traumatic events from his childhood are probably the main reason for his complusive eating, which in result made him overweight.

In addition, Hilary has a poor social life and little trust for strangers until they "prove themselves", as seen when he challanged Tommy for a race, stating that if only Tommy will win, Hilary would help him. He does, however, seem to be more friendly and casual to people he already know, such as Phil or Cam Jones.

Appearance

Hilary is an overweight man. He wears a light purple t-shirt, grayish-blue jeans and white shoes. He has ginger hair and wears glasses.

During the bank heist, Hilary wore a laurel green jumpsuit with gloves and white sneakers. He also wore a hockey mask to cover his face.
